Fancypants Popcorn Marquee Sign — Vintage Marquee Lights

Some brands have a personality so big it practically demands to be lit up. Fancypants Popcorn is one of them.

Founded by Ken Zeff — the entrepreneur behind Pittsburgh's beloved Crazy Mocha Coffee Co. — Fancypants Popcorn launched in 2019 as a gourmet popcorn shop rooted in the heart of Pittsburgh, PA. With a flagship location on Butler Street in Lawrenceville and a downtown outpost that quickly became a local favorite, Fancypants built its reputation on one simple promise: yummy, so yummy. Their lineup of gluten-free, fresh-popped flavors — from Shakey and Cheezy Cheez to Sweet Heat and Mamma Mia! — has earned them a devoted following across the city and beyond, with nationwide shipping available for those who cannot get enough.

The brand identity is as bold as its flavors. Their mascot — a dapper popcorn kernel sporting a bowler hat and a magnificent mustache — is equal parts whimsical and unforgettable. When Fancypants came to Vintage Marquee Lights, they wanted a sign that could match that energy. What we built was a custom round layered marquee sign — a circular design rimmed with warm Edison-style bulbs, featuring the full Fancypants logo: the mustachioed mascot front and center on a bold red background, with FANCYPANTS arching across the top and POPCORN anchoring the bottom in dimensional black lettering.

The result is a sign that does not just identify a location — it sets the tone the moment you walk in. Warm bulbs cast a glow that feels festive and inviting, perfectly suited to a shop where the whole vibe is celebratory. Whether it is hanging in a retail storefront, a food hall, or a pop-up event space, this sign stops people in their tracks.

At Vintage Marquee Lights, we specialize in custom layered marquee signs that bring brand identities to life in three dimensions. Every sign is handcrafted with layered materials, custom paint, and real illuminated bulbs — built to be a centerpiece, not an afterthought. Whether you are a gourmet popcorn shop, a coffee brand, a restaurant, or a retail concept, we will build something that makes people stop and stare.
